A little progress...

I enjoy stitching houses for some reason...

maybe because it's a little like being an architect & a builder altogether?

I sometimes imagine I live in these little houses-of-thread...

and that I can stitch myself a garden, full of blowzy blooms...

or perhaps a willow tree from which I'll hang a swing?

or maybe my needle will wrought a little brown dog...or a picket fence

or the name of a loved one from long ago ~

in any case, this is my muse...

my escape from the everyday and

it's my time capsule that I visit

...each time I open my sewing basket...
